    That's the whole point of having a pram!

    People walking slowly in front of me bugs the hell out of me - especially if they are weaving all over the place so you can't get by. That's why I offer to push the pushchair at home - it moves them out of the way sharpish when you mow the ****ers down.

    I am sure I have heard a comic (can't remember which one) covering the same ground in an act.

    Unfortunately it is true though.

    Years ago I did work in a supermarket and the checkout staff were always told to hand the card and both receipts back to the customer in one go because this is what customers preferred. How wrong It was what women preferred because they would just open their handbag and drop the card and receipts in together.

    As a man, I have a separate holder for my cards so I like to get the card back and have time to put it back into its holder while the receipts are printing, which then into my pocket.

    At last it seems that chip and pin has made the transaction process more man friendly.

That doesn't wind me up at all.

    People that act like they've never used a cash machine before and insist on reading every instruction, or poor people that have a fist full of cash/credit cards and they try each one just to see if there's any credit left so they can buy some crack.

    People who put their feet on the seat in trains. I told some geezer to get them off the other day, and although he did, he grunted at me as if I was in the wrong. He's a regular commuter too.

    sorry, I will of course give myself a thorough dressing down for such stupidity.
